http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org...-dies-age-84-ap This completely ruined my day. Now I'm going to have to watch Police Squad to cheer myself up when I get home from work. I am a major, major fan of his, believe it or not. EDIT: Also, somewhat-famous sci-fi director Irvin Kershner died at age 87. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20101129/ts_al..._20101129144514 He directed The Empire Strikes Back and RoboCop 2 (one of my favorite movies). What a shitty day. |

The Communist Merc
|
I mostly knew him from Airplane!. Comedy gold, that. And from your link, he was quite the incredible man (being a disc jockey while being legally deaf, that counts for something). |
|
Now a full-time Communist. Combatron Chronicles - Transformers RP awaits you ! | |

WARNING!
|
Crap in a hat. We lost another legendary comedian. Though the stuff about his serious work and early life was a surprise to me. *sighs* Rest in peace, you silly man. |

Wow, I didn't see this coming. I always figured he was in good health for a guy his age. Surely, this guy will be missed. Yes he will, but don’t call me Shirley. Now excuse me while I fire up Naked Gun. |

Apparently a Geometric Array...
|
I found out about this while I was on my other forum and I all I can say is wow; the man was amazing in 'Airplane', and I think I owe it to him to pick up some of his other movies. He will be missed. |

His Naked Gun Films and Spyhard are my favourite films. Now I will watch all his movies that I own in his honour. |
I once killed an alien, his pelt made a nice jacket for a street hobo.
